In order to make a tangible contribution to extant environmental datasets it is the intention that a number of cores be taken in relative proximity to known sites of Late Pleistocene activity in Scotland. The first task will be collation and curation of data attesting to the nature of development and change in Late Pleistocene landscapes and environments. It will also be necessary to profile the nature of human and faunal movement and recolonisation within landscapes, the conditions which are conducive to these processes and potential markers for these events archaeologically and environmentally. It is the intention that Late Pleistocene archaeological sites be engaged with wherever possible in regard to fieldwork, in order to expand understanding of spatial interactions with environmental contexts. The impact of this research will be profound in terms of understanding the development of early human-environment interactions and further to this the placement of recolonisations (human and faunal) temporally and situationally. Through an understanding of early impact on and relation to environments, strategies for long-term management and a deeper connection to modern landscapes can develop. This project will extend further from a purely academic output to creative outlets and hopefully a long-term visual interactive format, potentially in the form of an online model mapping potential human and faunal movement (Multiple Scenario Approach). Considering creative outputs, artistic/visual presentations of the data may be considered, in for example an illustrated narrative guide. Science communication is a passion of mine, so the development of my PhD will be documented by a blog and accompanying podcast and an information packet for stakeholders will be developed, to increase accessibility to my research. An integral aspect of the integrity of my research is accountability to FAIR Principles and dedication to the practice of open science.

为了对现有环境数据集做出切实的贡献，我们打算在苏格兰晚更新世活动的已知地点附近采集一些岩心。第一项任务是整理和整理数据，证明晚更新世景观和环境的发展和变化的性质。还需要描述人类和动物在景观中移动和重新殖民的性质、有利于这些过程的条件以及这些事件在考古学和环境方面的潜在标记。我们的目的是尽可能地对晚更新世考古遗址进行实地考察，以扩大对空间与环境背景相互作用的理解。这项研究的影响对于理解早期人类与环境相互作用的发展以及进一步在时间和情境上重新殖民（人类和动物）的布局而言将产生深远的影响。通过了解对环境的早期影响和与环境的关系，可以制定长期管理策略以及与现代景观的更深层次的联系。该项目将进一步从纯粹的学术成果扩展到创意渠道，并希望成为长期的视觉交互格式，可能以映射潜在人类和动物运动的在线模型的形式（多场景方法）。考虑到创意输出，可以考虑数据的艺术/视觉呈现，例如在图示的叙述指南中。科学传播是我的热情所在，因此我的博士学位的发展将通过博客和随附的播客来记录，并将为利益相关者开发一个信息包，以提高我的研究的可及性。我的研究完整性的一个组成部分是对公平原则的责任和对开放科学实践的奉献。
